This PCSWMM and EPA SWMM5 workshop focuses on getting both new and advanced users up to speed on the full capabilities of these two modeling packages. Learn the theory, tools and practical hands-on applications of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for stormwater, wastewater and watershed systems. Special emphasis is on drainage system planning and analysis using both single event and continuous modeling. Advanced topics include green infrastructure (LIDs), integrated 1D-2D and watershed flood modeling. You can attend the full 2 day workshop (for beginner and intermediate skill levels) or just the advanced workshop on Day 2 (for returning attendees).

You will receive full workshop details, including venue information, two weeks prior to the workshop. If you have any questions or comments, please contact our workshop coordinator.

Register before November 9, 2018 to receive the early bird discount.

Agenda

Day 1 (Beginner-Intermediate)8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Day 1 focuses on introducing the theory, concepts and tools available for EPA SWMM5 stormwater and wastewater modeling. Lectures are interspersed with real-world hands-on exercises, with plenty of time for one-on-one interaction with the instructor.

Day 2 focuses on progressing your skills and mastering the latest advances in EPA SWMM and PCSWMM. We highly recommended that you have already participated in the Day 1 training of a PCSWMM workshop if signing up for this advanced 1 day course.

We will supply a link to download software two weeks before the workshop. You must download, install, and activate the software prior to the workshop. Please notify us if you have problems with installation or activation.

Administrative rights to install/remove software

Hands-on exercises and potentially other software (e.g. PCSWMM update) will be installed during the workshops on your laptop. Please ensure you have such rights or know the administrator's log-in procedures.

We strongly recommend a 15" or larger screen, with a resolution between 1600x900 pixels and 1920x1200 pixels and text size set to 100%. This will enable the exercise instructions and the software to be displayed on the screen side-by-side.

Microsoft Excel (usually part of Microsoft Office)

Earbuds/headphones and audio jack (for additional help videos)

2 button mouse with wheel (strongly recommended)

Power supply (don’t forget it!)
